General strike - some scenes of various trade union protests that arrived at Galle Face/#Gotagogama today. The uniting demand - #GoHomeGota - is for GR & his family must answer for their failures, then go to jail. Power to the people ✊🏾 #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota2022
March by a mixture of trade unions leaving from Fort Railway and heading to GGG. Posters focus on state violence & the murder in #Rambukkana. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeGota2022
Collective of Ports unions & several other small groups protest outside Fort Railway Station. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeGota2022
Collective of Trade Unions and Mass Organisations - dragons, drums, and this reminder of the damage done to the agricultural sector. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeGota2022
Postal unions, vendors of the Manning Market in Peliyagoda, CEB unions. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeGota2022
Collective of Beauticians, who'd come from Panadura. 'No lights in the salons or to take photos, and no weddings because people can't afford anything. The cost of living is taller than Chichi's rocket.' #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeGota2022
In-between scenes and characters. Long sign around the outer fence of the Presidential Secretariat says 'stop repression to save tourism'. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeGota2022
A powerful day, seeing so many different groups - everyday working people, contributing to the country, all wanting a (hopefully) better and Rajapaksa-less future. Spectacular skies all day. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota #GoHomeGota2022
Not possible to capture the immense scale of today's crowd with a phone camera in the middle of it all, but @ThilinaKalu has you covered - multiple marches, big + medium sized, converging on this site of resistance. #Gotagogama #lka #srilanka #gohomegota
Check @_vajra's thread of some of the actions that were reported across the island today, and it's possible many smaller ones weren't reported?
Solidarity with the many who wanted to join but couldn't because it's too difficult to risk wages or jobs. #lka
